Yesterday, I saw this limited edition fragrance displayed in SMN Boutique in BKK, --4 bottles in Thailand and only 2 bottles left-- but I did not tried it as it has really challenging price tag of 485 U.S. Dollars (15,000 T.H. Bahts)!

Is anyone own it or has anyone tried it yet ?

Re: Ottone (Brasss) by Santa Maria Novella, has any one tried it yet ?

Alfarom was telling me about it a few months ago.

I remember him liking it.

Sticker price is high, but it probably is excellent. I'd love to hear a first-hand report.

Yes, I also want to hear about that.

By the way, the notes do not sound metalic at all so I wonder why naming it 'Brass'.

An incensey-spicy oriental with a fougerey vibe. I was initially quite enthusiastic about Ottone but after a bunch of wearings I don't find it as interesting as it initially seemed. Extremely ambitious and complex but results somewhat nondescript and with an overall perfumey vibe which I find a tad annoying in the long term...Probably, if regularly priced, I would have bought a bottle but considering the actual price tag, no way... thumbs neutral from me...

Thanks, alfarom.

Loved it when I smelled it (in NY about a year ago, at Lafco) but at the time I was coated with scents from MiN so I can't really remember much about it.

It reminded me, slightly, of Opus IV by Amouage with no cumin. I liked it.
